Taylor Crabb: “Our serve was tough and that helped us”

Bulgaria captain Borislav Georgiev: “It was a very tough match and we did not play our best. This is our first World Championship and we really want to win. Let’s try to improve for the second match”.

USA captain Taylor Crabb: “We started the tournament really well. We had a good strategy for this match and we could follow it perfectly. Our serve was tough and that helped us to play in blocking and digging”.

Bulgaria head coach Nikolay Jeliazkov: “We could have played better in spiking and blocking, specially. Six points in blocking is too few for our team. I wish we can play better in the second match”.

USA head coach John Hawks IV: “We server very well and I am very satisfied with that. The Bulgarian are very tall and we needed to serve well to play against them. Ball control and speed were the keys for our win”.
